One of the two Mint 9 examples known!

1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig #160 PSA Mint 9 - Pop Two, None
Higher! Though the incredible consecutive games streak that
earned Lou Gehrig his famous Iron Horse nickname would ultimately
extend into the opening weeks of the 1939 season, that unbroken
chain had almost been snapped twice in 1933. On April 23rd, an
errant pitch struck Gehrig in the head, briefly turning out the
lights. Seven weeks later, Gehrig and manager McCarthy were tossed
for arguing with the umpire, but a single at-bat earned Lou credit
for an appearance. As the nation suffered through the devastating
effects of the Great Depression, Gehrig continued to inspire with
his uncommon resilience.

This extraordinary relic stands as a most fitting commemorative of
the stalwart first baseman, dodging the dangers of decades of life
without so much as a scratch, faithfully standing sentinel atop the
PSA population rankings. Search all you'd like--you'll find not a
single stumble here, from the color to the registration to the
corners to the centering. It quite literally doesn't get any better
than this.
